Guy is an absolute stud and from right here in Mandeville, LA . Tore his achilles in the semis last year but has revamped and gained weight and placed #1 in his regional and qualified for the games. Don’t be surprised when he beats Mederios.

He got smoked.

Guess goes to show you can be the best athlete from your state and region but still be pedestrian when up against the best in the world

Agree. We did this workout yesterday at class. Admittedly, I scaled the frick out of it. Before class, our coach was wanting us to work on the DU X-Overs. I think 90% of the class agreed that it was a stupid useless movement. I just did D/U's and pretty much refused to do the x-overs.

I absolutely love the functional aspect of CrossFit and most of the workouts, in general, but stupid movements like this make no sense. You lose your athletes on dumb shite like this.

Then again, that's the beauty of CrossFit. You can always scale and get an excellent workout. If you leave a class or WOD and don't feel like you accomplished something, that's on you for not putting forth the effort. The programming is done for you and is written to give you an excellent workout.

Think ive only done DUs and crossovers but not both together. I agree its unnecessary. Thats only been in the game a couple of years because DUs were too easy for that level athlete

Teams is fricking stupid. I’d rather see masters or teens. No one gives a frick about your workout “team”.

Bill is an animal and a hell of a nice fella.
